I hate everyone today.

I just want everyone around me to CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

Everything is running great, we're meeting shipping schedules, etc, for the first time in ages, and everyone is still stuck in emergency mode.

I have also run out of patience with Angry Ed's anger.

Spread it around. It's what I'm doing.

Somehow, I feel like you ought to be able to leverage Junkenstein to do something with Angry Ed's anger.

Everything changed from "Do it yesterday" to "Hurry up and wait".

I have no first hand experience, but if there was ever an industry that seems to model itself on the military, it's this one.

Thanks, anything else?  They just seemed to give state telecom information for the ISP, no organisation or anything like that.  Same for you?

Correct.  Region stats were populated, but no organizations.

Bleh.  Don't these people know staring is rude.  At least say hello.

Preferably not with a molotov cocktail at 3am.

Have you got a list of vaugely suspicious IP resolves relating to this forum? Offhand, I can recall more than a few and I would assume there are many more than that. It's been going on for some years now and it's probably worth it's own thread at this point.

Eh, not especially.  A lot of the IPs that seem to follow my posts in particular resolve to Amazon and similar, which suggest they're probably part of some NSA dragnet or another.  Sadly, I'm definitely not covered by any 4th amendment provisions because FISA.  So I sorta expect that.

The former Soviet Union is a new one, though.  I have no idea why three people, at least one of which was in a different country from the other two, would be looking at an old thread of mine.

If something goes down in the Ukraine in the next couple of days, people will have questions for you.

Was this thread  http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=24624.msg849832#msg849832

It's a good thread, don't get me wrong.  Just....irrelevant to anything going on in that part of the world right now.

I'm not so sure.

There's probably a government post opening up soon for foreign affairs advisor. Badly spelt emails with a job offer may be amusingly legitimate.

Total aside, there's more than a few PD posters who would be actually quite good in governmental positions.

I have a critical lift to oversee today.  When that's done, I'm adding a chapter to the pit.

Amusingly, I'm charging standing time on a 750T because an ultra critical lift is now not happening until whenever.

The bill is eye watering, even by my standards.

I went out for a drink with three of my friends last night, at a bar of their choosing, where well pours are $6. During the evening, my lab buddy calls to make plans to get together today for brunch to discuss our term project. Not having gone out for brunch since approximately 2003, I ask my friends for a suggestion. "Tasty & Sons!" they cheerfully chorus, "or Equinox!"

I stare at them for a moment. Then, I say "How about a place with student-friendly prices?"

They look blank. "Tasty is pretty student-friendly" says one.

They are completely out of touch. $14 plates is not student-friendly. I feel strangely disconnected from them, and their financial worries are completely foreign to me. Having to dip into savings for a vacation? What's that? "Savings"? "Vacation"?

My financial aid disbursed yesterday. $2900. Most of it goes into my bank account, because my scholarship covered my tuition. I have $1200 in the bank, and another $1000 coming from my tax refund. I owe PSU $800 for my geology class. I owe my mortgage company $4500, but if I jump on it before the 15th, I can pay them $3000 and roll the other $1500 into what I'll owe when summer term comes. My tags have been expired for almost a year, but my car needs work I can't afford, so I just don't drive anymore. I'm thinking about selling it to cover the mortgage. My friend's boyfriend just bought her a new car. $45,000.

I don't tell them any of this, while they go on to talk about how they can only afford to spend $350k on a house, TOPS, because they qualify for more but they only have $35k to put down.
